Thank you to Corin our training officer for taking us through the law amendments and an interesting presentation on goal setting, just remember keep it S.M.A.R.T. This month we welcome David Hutchinson an extremely well respected FA tutor, please come along on the 5th, I know David‘s presentation will not only be thought provoking but informative, most certainly interactive and very enjoyable. It would appear normal service is resumed, Manchester United are winning foot- ball matches, Joey Barton has found another new club and the pundits continue to dissect every decision the officials make. We often decry the top flight referees for not dealing with some things that we are expected to deal with at lower levels and even question their validity over a decision that they may have not got right, however I wonder how we would stand up to the scrutiny that they are subject to week in week out. If we have not had the best game or if we have got a match changing decision wrong do we reflect on how perhaps next time we will ensure we will get it right. So is it not logical that the top boys do the same? I can assure you that they do, along with their coach, the match delegate, the assessor, the national press and every football show that is showing that week. So maybe the next time we feel the urge to publicly lambaste one of the top-flight guys or even question their actions, just take a moment, put your self in their shoes and con- sider how you might deal with such public condemnation, resulting from a split second decision. I had rather a disturbing phone call this month. One of our members whilst oper- ating as an assistant referee witnessed a sending off during the game he was officiating on. He did not see the incident that lead to the sending off or at least did not see it the same way as the referee. Later in the changing room the refe- ree explained what he had seen and asked his assistants to corroborate his ac- count of the incident when writing their reports. This is totally unacceptable if you are ever asked to do this you must remind the Referee that you did not see ex- actly what had happened and that all you can write is the following ―In the --– minute of the game I witnessed the Referee dismiss Mr------ from the field of play. The Referee later informed me it was for ---------- ---------.‖ I am not sug- gesting for one minute that you should dispute the reason the referee dismissed the player, but equally you must not write anything that you have not witnessed your self. If after a game you are in doubt as to what you should do, take advice from a colleague before putting pen to paper. I look forward to seeing you all on the 5th Yours in sport Vince 2 The Warbler The Magazine of the Woking Referees‘ Society From the Treasurer 2011 Current Status General £1,512.55 Supplies £364.04 Belgium £0.00 Youth Fund £113.50 Total £1,990.09 2011/12 Membership 65 Full Members 5 Friends Where’s Mole ?? Jack Wilshire and Robin van Percy from "The Guardian" 22/8/11 "He may be a household name in large parts of the country and his moniker is slapped across the back of replica shirts from Islington to India, but a bemused Jack Wilshere tweeted a photo of his pigeon hole at Arsenal's London Colney training ground recently which reads "19 J Wilshire". Make sure to watch out for Arsenal's report of their second-leg match against Udinese, where we'll see if star players Robin van Percy, Gordon Ramsey, and Sir Clyde Walcott can help dig Arsenal's team out of their early season jittery run in the Premier League." Premier League losers Everton's defeat by QPR on Saturday was their 100th home league defeat in the Premier League since it began in 1992, making them the first to hit three figures. West Ham are next closest but will have to wait until next season at the earliest to add to their tally of 97. Tottenham, with 91, and Aston Villa, with 88, could also break the ton this sea- son. ( Spurs now 92—Ed ) Spotted by Brian 3 The Warbler The Magazine of the Woking Referees‘ Society I‘m watching Spurs getting walloped by Manchester City, currently 4 –1 to the Northerners, although I‘m not sure that there are any ―northeners‖ in the tradi- tional sense actually playing for Manchester. Phil Dowd has just issued a yellow card for an offence I‘ve never before witnessed in a Premier game, and that was for a player entering the field of play without permission. The player in question, Slavic, ran onto the pitch as a substitute, unfortunately the player he was replac- ing was still walking off, in fact he had hardly left the penalty area. Interestingly, although not surprisingly the TV ―Pundit‖ asked ― What was that for?‖ The com- mentator however put him straight, That reminds me. Mr Shearer, the person running up and down the touchline with a flag is called an Assistant Referee. He or she, is no longer called a ―Linesman‖. Do try and get it right! Oh no! Dzeko has just scored his 4th goal for City. I think Harry has some work to do as Spurs looked very ordinary today and now languish at the bottom of the League. It will be interesting to see how Mancini‘s foreign imports will fare against Fergie‘s young home gown talent. At last week‘s meeting much debate was engendered when discussing one of the ―what would you do‖ questions posed in last month‘s Warbler. It was question No6 (Goalkeeper splashes water at an oncoming forward) and the majority seemed to be in favour of a caution for the keeper for unsporting behaviour, al- though that did then raise the question of was there a case of denying an obvi- ous goal scoring opportunity? There was another camp who though it was a straight red for striking a player, which proved to be the correct choice. Saves having to make a decision about whether there was a DOGSO I suppose. It does go to show that even though we only have 17 laws to worry about, mak- ing the correct decision is never always straight forward, which I suppose is one of the factors which make our hobby so interesting. It is however, worrying that some referees don‘t always know the laws. I remember some years ago when I was relatively inexperienced as an assistant ref on the Suburban League at Aldershot. At the end of the game the referee ( level 4) asked if he‘d missed me at all ( ie my signals not me personally you un- derstand) I said only once when a free kick he had awarded to the defending team in their own penalty area hadn‘t come out of the 18 yard box before being touched by another player of the same team. ― That only applies to Goal Kicks‖ I was told by both the referee and the other as- sistant. ―I think you‘ll find it also applies to free kick taken within the penalty area‖ I replied. After some discussion a LOAF was exhumed from the bottom of a kit bag and the matter was resolved much to the amazement of the other 2.

  • A Comparative Study of After-Match Reports on 'Lost'and 'Won'football
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2015 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia A Comparative Study Of After-match Reports On ‘Lost’ And ‘Won’ Football Games Within The Framework Of Critical Discourse Analysis Biook Behnam Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Hasan Jahanban Isfahlan (Corresponding Author) Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received: 09-07-2014 Accepted: 02-09-2014 Published: 01-01-2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 Abstract In spite of the obvious differences in research styles, all critical discourse analysts aim at exploring the role of discourse in the production and reproduction of power relations within social structures. Nowadays, after-match written reports are prepared immediately after every football match and provide the readers with the apparently objective representations of important events and occurrences of the game. The authors of this paper analyzed four after-match reports (retrieved from Manchester United’s own website), two regarding their lost games and two on their won games. Hodge and Kress’s (1996) framework was followed in the analysis of the grammatical features of the texts at hand. Also, taking into consideration the pivotal role of lexicalization as one dimension of the textualization process (Fairclough, 2012), vocabulary and more specifically the choice of specific verbs, nouns, adverbs and noun or noun phrase modification were examined.

The match will be the 91st time the Shield has been contested. The only match ever to go to a replay was the very first - in 1908. No club has a Shield pedigree like Manchester United. They were its first winners and have now clocked up a record 15 successes. They have shared the Shield an additional four times and have featured in a total of 28 contests. Wigan Athletic, by contrast, were a non-League club until 1978 and are playing the first Shield match in their 81-year history. The FA Charity Shield, its name until 2002, evolved from the Sheriff of London Shield - an annual fixture between the leading professional and amateur clubs of the time.

  • 13 March 2012 Opposition: Everton Competition
    13 March2012 13 Date: 13 March 2012 Telegraph Echo Opposition: Everton Mirror Mail Independent Guardian Competition: League Captain's inspirational lead lifts Liverpool out of the doldrums It is galling enough to be beaten in a derby fixture, but Everton found themselves contributing to the sort of high spirits that had gone missing at Anfield. The glee for the home side was enhanced by the fact that a hat-trick for their captain, Steven Gerrard, was completed in stoppage time. There were other causes of concern for Everton on the night, particularly in the shape of the elusive Luis Suarez, who set up that concluding goal. The motivation was great for the Uruguayan and everyone else in the lineup as they strove to make amends for recent shortcomings. No Liverpool player had notched a hat-trick in this fixture since Ian Rush claimed four goals at Goodison in 1982. Gerrard will cherish this occasion, but the jubilation may have practical benefits as well. The victors needed 90 minutes of this sort to make their way out of the doldrums. Kenny Dalglish's players will have left the ground feeling more sure of themselves than they have in weeks. By the close, it was impossible to believe that Liverpool had endured three consecutive defeats in the Premier League before this match. By the end they had equalled their highest score of the league campaign. Everton are usually outstanding in battling their limitations, but there was a technique and deadliness to Liverpool that could not be resisted. If the victors have any anxieties at all they will lie in the fear that Suarez might prefer to move to another country to earn a living after that eight-game ban for racial abuse of Patrice Evra.

Tweeting with the enemy? The impacts of new social media on sports journalism and the education of sports journalism students John Price, Neil Farrington & Lee Hall Sunderland Uni- versity Abstract. With more than 200m users worldwide, Twit- ter is becoming an increasingly significant tool for jour- nalists and their audiences. Yet, to date, there has been relatively little academic study of its impacts on the jour- nalism profession. This article provides one of the first attempts to investigate how Twitter is influencing jour- nalism, focusing on the specialist area of sports report- ing. Through interviews with members of a press pack, the article explores how Twitter is perceived by sports journalists, how it is affecting their professional relation- Articles Page 10 Journalism Education Volume 1 number 1 ships, and how it is being employed in everyday working practices. Findings suggest the new technology is creat- ing some problems and divisions among journalists, due partly to a lack of clear guidelines and best practice. While Twitter undoubtedly offers new journalistic opportuni- ties in terms of sourcing, publishing and accessing audi- ences, it poses a number of potential problems including workload, loss of exclusive source access and content, and abuse from readers.
